Eternal Love
There was once a man, so fair and so bold
He lived in a castle, with treasures untold
He had wealth beyond measure, and power to spare
But he lived his life, with no one to share
One day, he met a woman, so sweet and so true
She captured his heart, with a single glance at her view
He knew he had found, the love he'd been seeking
And he vowed to protect her, with everything he was keeping
Together they roamed, through fields and through streams
Their love grew stronger, like a rose in the beams
They laughed and they danced, under the moon's light
Their love shone brighter, than any star in the night
But alas, their happiness was not meant to be
For the woman grew sick, and the man was set free
He watched as she slept, with tears in his eyes
His heart was breaking, as he said his goodbyes
He vowed to never love, in that way again
For the pain of losing her, was more than he could sustain
But as he walked away, from the woman he loved
He knew deep down, that his love for her was never done
And so the man lived, with a heavy heart and a lonely soul
But he never forgot, the love he once knew
For even in death, their love remained true
A love that was stronger, than anything he knew.
